| Message | Comrade Deputies, We agree with the assertion of the NPP that the threat of preemptive strike is the ultimate deterrent, so we are obliged to agree with article 5. However, the other proposals of this bill are not so agreeable. Chemical and biological weaponry are tools of the utmost murderous power and cruelty. These weapons are rightfully banned for their ability to indiscriminately murder as many people as possible in the most cruel ways as possible. For this reason, we oppose articles 1 and 2. We believe that all people should have the right to choose their own destiny in life and shouldn't be forced into a service they morally disagree with and be forced to kill if they do not wish to kill. For this reason, we oppose articles 3 and 4. Deputy John Kramer (NCP - Suldanor) Leader of the NCP Minority |

| Random quote: "In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a cheque. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." - Martin Luther King Jr. |
